From their intricate dance moves to their perfectly crafted pop songs, the super group has quickly become a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their second studio album, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Born Pink<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, was released on September 16 and Blinks (Blackpink fans) are thrilled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s been two years since the group\u2019s first project, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Album,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> dropped. The latest project shook the internet to its core. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Born Pink<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album 200 in the United States and their hit single <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pink Venom<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> got 90 million views in just 24 hours, making it the most significant music video debut of the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So why are millions of people from around the world so captivated by pop music from South Korea?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">K-pop is more than just a musical style. It provides audiences with top-notch choreography and catchy songs you can\u2019t stop listening to. The K-pop industry produces the best boy or girl groups in the world, something that America hasn\u2019t been able to successfully do since the Spice Girls or Destiny\u2019s Child in the 90s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Debuting in 2016, Ros\u00e9, Lisa, Jisoo and Jennie were brought together by YG Entertainment, a South Korean entertainment agency, to become stars. Blackpink<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">radiates girl power. In fact, Blackpink\u2019s name directly refers to the juxtaposition of the colors Black and Pink. Black represents power and edge, while pink represents the nature of femininity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first single from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Born Pink <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is entitled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pink Venom <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and opens with Jisoo playing the geomungo, a conventional Korean plucked zither with frets and bridges. This small detail in the introduction honors the beauty of Korean culture. Even when implementing their native sounds, much of their music is mainly pop with electronic dance music, hip-hop and trap elements. During Jennie and Lisa\u2019s raps, the singers pay homage to legendary artists such as Rhianna, The Notorious B.I.G. and 50 Cent by sampling lyrics from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pon de Replay<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kick in the Door<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">P.I.M.P.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shut Down<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the second track on the album. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard Global Charts and became the longest-running No. 1 K-pop song on Spotify\u2019s global chart. Not only is the song incredibly catchy, but the video is visually satisfying. They even recite their iconic line<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBlackpink in your area\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the track.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video also references older music videos from the past, which signifies the closing of one chapter of the group\u2019s musical careers to the next. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shut Down&#8217;s <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">overall message that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blackpink is on top of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Born Pink <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a powerful album. From upbeat songs to ballads, it has a diverse range of tunes. Every detail, costume, lyric or dance on the project has significance. Whether paying homage to inspirational artists or showcasing the beauty of traditional Korean culture, it has the intention of making a statement that there is power in femininity.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Korean Pop, or K-pop, has exploded in popularity in the last few years.\u00a0 One of the genre&#8217;s breakout acts is the widely-popular girl group, Blackpink.
